Are you referring to the current Celtics team or historically? Do you include plays where Rondo gets hacked and no foul? Do you include plays where Perkins practically looks at a ref and gets a technical? Some Celtics get calls their way once in a while, but some of the lesser known players get the opposite treatment. I wouldn't even begin to compare them to Jordan's Bulls or the last Lakers dynasty.

The game was very fairlyl called.. 24 fouls v/s 17 fouls is not a big difference..Celtsfan1980 wrote:Jack wore plaid wrote:The Celtics get more calls from the NBA refs than any team in the history of the league. Please stop whining about one game, or you'll hurt Sterns feelings.

Bruno I have to give it to you, being able to see that your team maybe didn't quite have it on a particular night is a sign of a true fan!bruno sundov wrote:Hey we lost that game and not the refs. Worst played game since we lost to IND 20 games ago. I hate losing to the lakers.
For the love of GOD Doc find TA a nice spot on the bench. he is just horrible.

Good stuffcfan79. We will have to be ready or we will catch a beat down if we're not.cfan79 wrote:Congrats to the Lakers fans. This just adds to the rivalry them winning and stopping our streak. C's will really want that next one.
We will get them next time when they come to the Jungle.

With Bynum and Ariza back the Lakers are still working on integrating them into the team. This game was pretty much a litmus test for the Lakers to just see if Bynum and Ariza would make the Lakers on the same level with the Celtics.
Yesterday's game should be something the Lakers can build and improve upon so they can play better the next time.

Yeah, we are FAR from playing our best basketball right now. We came out with intensity yesterday but we still aren't firing on all cylinders. Up until the end Pau was having a horrible game. He was missing those face up mid jumpers that he normally knocks down with ease. He was also missing jump hooks and put backs under the rim. When he finally got it going in the fourth is when we started turning it around. It's ok though, Phil normally doesn't have his team firing on all cylinders until about 20 or so games before the playoffs. That's when I expect us to be beating teams by 15+ points and resting Kobe the entire fourth quarter and stuff. Right now it's all about executing on offense and getting everyone on the same page and conditioning. We're ok. We've been playing some really ugly basketball our last few games and we still went 3-2 in our last 5 games beating some good teams in New Orleans by 13 and Boston by 9. And we've been playing UGLY. So once we pull it all together and when Bynum starts getting 100% comfortable in the paint again it'll be really tough to beat us in a 7 game series.
